Orbit International’s Electronics Group Reports Bookings in Excess of $1,450,000 for Month of December 2018

Power Group’s 2018 VPX Bookings Up 90% Over Prior Year

Consolidated Bookings Approximated $6,000,000 for the Fourth Quarter

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Jan. 03, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orbit International Corp. (OTC PINK:ORBT), an electronics manufacturer and software solution provider, today announced that bookings for its Electronics Group (“OEG”) exceeded $1,450,000 for the month of December 2018.

Bookings for the month of December were highlighted by an approximately $730,000 order received by the OEG for a switch panel and an approximately $290,000 display, both used on military aviation programs. Other awards received by the OEG during the month were for switch panels, keyboards and displays. Deliveries for the awards received during December are expected to commence in the first quarter of 2019 and continue through the fourth quarter of 2019.

Mitchell Binder, President and CEO of Orbit International commented, “This very good month of OEG bookings completes a strong $4,000,000 quarter of bookings for our OEG. In addition, consolidated bookings, including our Orbit Power Group (“OPG”) were approximately $6,000,000 for the quarter. Our consolidated outlook for 2019 remains positive with follow-on orders expected on a majority of our major military programs along with several additional opportunities that could result in significant awards, although timing is an uncertainty.”

Binder continued, “Our OPG had a solid month of bookings for its VPX products, including an expected order for qualification units from a large military contractor. We are hopeful that production awards for this product will commence during the second half of 2019. This contract, along with others received during the month, resulted in total 2018 bookings nearly doubling for our VPX technology as compared to the prior year. We are encouraged by the pace of new additional opportunities that we are receiving and believe we are well positioned to grow this part of our business once again in 2019.”
